SALOONS ORDERED CLOSED.
INVITATIONS OF A GENER4L SUNDAY
BLUE Law MOTEMENT.

Only toe Front Doors are to be Closed
Now, But it May be More Stringent
Other Places 5Tay be Closed Too
Judge Davis is not at the Bottom of II.
Policemen in all the precincts went
around to the saloon keepers and told
them to shut their doors to-day. The
saloon keepers asked "What doors?" and
were told the front doors. They can
have their side doors open and sell as
much sum as they please but it must
not be dona under the eyes of the people.
1t was at drst thought that the order had
emsnated from Justice Davis, the Prssi-
dent of the Board, who is member of the
Third street Methodist charch, and pro-
nounced Prohibitionist.
sBut," said Chief Of Police Murphy last
evening. "that is not true. I issued the
order without instructions from anybody.
It is the one usually issue at the opening
of the warm season. The temptation Of
summer is to keep open doors for breeze
and circulation of air, and do not intend
to have the men who insist on drinking on
the Sabbath offending thu better sense Of
the community by doing it under the eyes
of passing womea and chill rem. So
directed the police captains 50 order the
saloonkeepers to keep their front doors
shut.
The Police Board is to meet next Tues
day. The Law and Order League which
has been organized under the auspices of
the churches will present petition asking
that the sale of liquor on sundays be
stopped entirely, and all the beer gardens

The Clerks Early Closing Association
propose to carry the war even further, and
will insist that not only saloons, but that
all places of business be closed on the
Sabbath. They have prepared petition
which has been numerous.y signed, and it
will be sent to the Police Board on Tues-
day at about the same time the church
peoples anti-saloon manifesto is landed on
Clerk Robinson's desk.
It remains to be seen what the Police
Boerd will do with the two petitions.

was not the slightest evidence to show any
motive for the shooting on the part of Wa

were known to be firm friends and came to
the gallery together on the night Of the
shooting. Justice Stilsing said he hoped
that the terrible accident would be warn
fulness when handling deadly weapons,
and that the time would soon come when
rifles less dangerous would be used in the
shooting galleries. Wallace thanked the
Judge for his discharge and went away
with his friends.

ONLY THREE MORE DAYS.
Preparations for the Hargipg Of Disque
Fears of Suicide.

Next Wednesday morning between the
hours of nine and ten o'clock George Disque
will suffer the penalty of the law for the
brutal murder of his wife in Hoboken in
October, 1885, unless the Governor uses
the power with which.the Jaw vests, him to
grant a respite of not more than thirty
days. That the Governor will take any
such action is not of the remotest proba-
bility, and as the Court of Pardons has
once passed unfavorably on the case, it can
be considered absolutely certain that he
will not behold the dawn of another day
after Wednesday. Notwithstanding the
fact of his approaching doom, Disque COM
ducts himself with an Indifference and APP
parent resignation that are almost incredi-
BILE for a man placed in his unenyiable
position. If he has any secret feeling of
dread of his sad doom, no index of it can
be discovered in his outward behavior He
exhibits GOODNESS that is surprising to the
men whose duty it is to keep guard over
him while he remains here, and he is said
to betray less symptoms of concern than
prisoners whose release is a question of a
very limited time. He eats his II eals with
regularity, and his sleep lacks the restless
ness which has made the last night of some
murderers so painful. But few visitors
are permitted to see the doomed man, and
in this respect his keepers act in Difference
to his own request. The Rev. Mr. Meury
and few relations of the prisoner are
the only ones who visit him, and no one
else will be permitted to visit him unless
at the solicitation of the prisoner himself.
The gallows upon which Disque will ex-
plate his crime will be erected by Van Hiss
of Newark, who performed the same duties
in the Kankowski case. II is probable
that the gallows will not be erected until
Tuesday Afternoon.
The calmness of his dem eanor hes given
strength to the suspicious, reported in
these columns last Sunday morning that
he contemplates cheating the gallows 1t
has been learned nitely that some
members of his family AVE been urging
him to suicide. He has been stripped and
searched and removed to new cell, and
the most careful surveillance is kept over
him and all who visit him.
Disque will be the third man to suffer
the death penalty in Hudson county. The
first was Mechella, who was hanged about
twelve years ago, duriag the time of Sheriff
Reinhart, for the murder in Hudson straet
of a United States Marshal. Kankowski,
WHO Was uauSeu aDOut seven y odIS ago lOr
the Maria Muller murder, was the second.
The hanging of Disque will take place
within the prison walls in one of the cor
ridors. The doomed man will be attended
in his last moments by Rev. Mr., Meury
aid his brother-in-law, who is also min
lister.
Yesterday box of cigars was sent by a
friend. For fear that in one of them some
thing might be concealed Tailor Birdsall
sent box purchased by himself in place of
those sent. Disque's brother is daily
visitor and seems much grieved at his I'M
fortunate brothers doom,

Nearly Ono Hundred Lives Lost by a
Scotch CoIliery Explosion.
GLASGOW, May 28.--A terrible explosion
has occurred in the Union coal pit at Blan-
tyre. a village in Lancashire, eight miles
from this city. Two hundred and twenty
miners are entombed IN the pit. and it is
feared that all have persisted. The shaft
is blocked by debris caused by the explo-
sion. Forty-fve miners who were imprif-
ened in the upper aeam of the pit were
rescued, but one of them died after being
brought to the surface The others are
suffering, however, from the effects of the
shock and fire damp. Access to the lowest
seam where seventy men are confined is
found to be blocked by the debris tumbled
down by the explosion. 1t was in this
seam that the explosion occurred and it is
not believed that any of the seventy men
down there can be rescued alive. There
are seventy other stil imprisoned IN the
middle seam. Hopes are entertained of
saving most of these. Tae volunteers
working for their rescue can hear them
caling for help. Cries of 'sCome
ssHelp !" ''Come quicklyl' have been
heard frequently. The Union pit is stu
ated in the most fiery of the coal districts
of Scotland. As soon as the fact of the
explosion became known, miners from all
the neighboring collieries hurried to the
scene to help in tae work of rescue. The
pithead has been surrounded ever since
the disaster by a large crowd of weeping
women and children. Five dead bodies
have been already taken out of the mine.

NO MORE GERMAN.
And the Hoboken Tax Board Propose to
Close the High School, Too.


Holoeken is in wild state of excitement
over the reduction in the tax levy ordered
by the Tax Commissioners at their meeting
Friday evening. The Conference lasted far
intothe night and was with closed doors, and
exciting as well. The first item they tack
led was the School APPROPRIATION. This
they cut down to the extent of $11, 600.
The Com missioners signed areport recon-
mending that the teaching of German in the
several departments be discontinued. A
majority of the Board, the German mem-
bers included, signed the report 1t was
also recommended that the High School and
will naturally result in the discharge OF
many teachers, provided that the School
Trustees will acquiesce in the recommen-
dalton. What will they do, however,
with their funds 81, 900 short? 1t re-
mains to be seen. A lively rumpus occurred
over the appropriations for the police depart
ment. Some of the members favored a
Wholesale reduction. The amount appro-
priated last year was. in round numbers,
$51. 900. A motion was made by Hexamer
w Wv bAio JCdA dRRtOPAAoDAOh W
x45, 0e0, and it provoked the liveliest kind of
discussion. Then the amount was rails I'd
gradually towards $4,000, and it was
finally fixed definitely at $50, 600, to in
clude the balance unexpended last year,
which is S940, making the grand total
$50, $40. The street cleaning fund was
fixed at $4,000, and street repairing at
$1,000. Philip Hexamer wanted $780,
appropriated for repavlng the streets. His
idea is to take up the old cobblestone
pavement and substitute B slgian blocks.
Hexamer met with a strenuous opposition
to such large approj ration, and it was
cat down to $1,000. The proposition to
close the High School and the proposition
to cut German out of the school curricu-
lum has aroused storm of opposition.
The Board may at its meeting next Tues
day reconsider its action on these points.
The results of their deliberations will be
reported to the Council this week.

An Order About summer Suits That Has
stirred Up Revolt

The majority of the train men Of the
Central Railroad are very indignant over
the order lately issued by the managers of
the Company, which will compel all the
train hands to go to Colyer's Clothing
House in Newark, where their suits have
been bcu hit for some years, and leave their
measures for new uniforms.
A SUNDAY MORNING News reporter went
over to the depot at Communipaw yester-
day and saw number of the employees on
the subject, who at first seemed to be very
unwilling to converse on the subject, but
when they became convinced that the re-
porter had no connection with the road
they talked quite freely on the subject. One
of the men said that in years past
the men were compelled to procure
new uniform every spring and fall,
but the com pany allowed them a reduction
of fifteen per cent. on the price of the
suit bnt this year no reduction is made,
which is looked upon by the men as the
first step in a reduction 10 wages. One
man SAID that the suit which he bought
last spring has never boon worn, not even
the Tags nave Deel TAKEN Oh. ne went TO
his boss and stated the case, but he was
informed that he must get new one In
spitesof the fact that he had one at home.
His wife has to wear calicos and other
cheap fabrics, while he is compelled to
wear new clothes all the time. Another
one of the men mada the remark that his
pay was SO small, and his femity's wants
were so many, that when he bought two
new collars or pair of cuffs, he had to 60
without dinner The men say that the
men on the ferry do not pass inspection but
the trainmen do, which is considered as an
indication that, the road having passed
from the old to the new management, the
new owners intend to cut expenses in every
way. 1t seems that some of the oldest
hands have been discharged, and those
taken on to fill the vacancy have been
hired on cheaper terms. None of the men
know how long they will remain on the
road, and some of them say they do not
care how long they are kept on. Not long
ago number were discharged, and it is
not known how soon more of them will
60, as they say, to make room for favor
ties of the new road. Several Of the en-
ployees when seen protested utter igaor-
ance on the subject, ana claimed that
they had received no orders to get new
uniforms
